Summary Alison Brie and Essie Randles are a dysfunctional pair of sisters in Apples Never Fall. Brie, well-known for her turns in the cult favorite Community and Netflix's GLOW, among many other titles, stars in the Peacock mystery show as Amy, the free-spirited descendant of the Delaney family whose aloof nature makes her something of an outcast.
Randles Had One Thought When She Landed Her Role: "This Doesn't Happen" Screen Rant: I am so excited to chat about this show with both of you. I'm four episodes in, and it's fantastic so far. Essie, I'd like to turn to you first. This is one of your first big projects. What was it like when you were approached for the show and when you landed the part?
Alison Brie: Thank you for that question. I feel like that's the perfect way to put it, and I was going to use the same term, chaotic, about Amy. It was so fun, it's honestly one of the big reasons why I wanted to work on this show, just to kind of flex a different muscle and get to play a different kind of character.
I can see how Brooke might have lined up with some of your past roles, but I'm glad that they approached you for Amy, because much like Essie here, you do a fantastic job with your part.
